Url for public tender/bid invitation?

Dear Gurus,
We are configuring public tender/ bid invitation document in our SRM server 7.01 (SRM 7 enhancement pack 1).
We have created a bid invitation document of type public. It has gone through approval and got published. We have not configured the system for decoupled bidding (bidding response from SUS available from SRM 7.01).
In which portal, the bid invitation will be published? is it the supplier portal or there will be separate portal link available for the same? Could you please give me a hint where to look for the public tender?
Secondly, who will get to see the public tender? Are only the suppliers present in the SRM system or any supplier who is even not registered with the client can see the public tender?
Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Dear Ranjan,
Your requirement can be achieved with the press tendering(paper add or advertisement on company website), where the client will be giving the details related to the Bid invitation so that the suppliers can view them and if interested they can register themselves to access the bid invitation and proceed with the follow on activities for response submission.
As you have mentioned , you can publish a link in the client main page referring to the Bid invitation with details and asking the interested suppliers to registered themselves via supplier registration url , so that a corresponding business partner will be generated for them in the SRM system and at the same time purchaser will be notified with the interested suppliers.
Once the supplier is registered, then they can access the bid invitation with there login credentials.
But at no point of time suppliers without registering in the SRM system can access the Bid invitation.
Hope this will answer your query.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Rahul

Url for public archlinux git server

I'd like to use git to hit Arch's packages in [testing] but am unsure how. Is there a public server? I know I can do this with abs but there can be delays for servers to sync which is why I'm more hip on a git clone xxx rather than using abs. Thanks!

Reviewer functionality for Bid Invitation

Hi,
We have activated the 0-step approval WS14500026 for Bid invitation. We need to add only Reviewer for the the Bid invitation. I dont want the approver. But if i try try adding only Reviewer, it is not going to the reviewer's inbox as the automatic approval is carried out.
1) If I add an approver, it is going to the reviewer's inbox. But when approval is completed, it is removed from the reviewer's inbox. Also if i try to execute the workitem before approval, there is no option to enter any comments by the reviewer.
do i need to do anything for that?
2) I need only the reviewer functionality and not the approval functionality.Is it possible? If so wht shld i do for this?
Regards,
Sivagami.R

hi,
can you please check the authority of the reviewer you are entering in your system?
if he is authorized , then it should be possible for him to make changes in the workitem.
check wether the reviewer has got the same authority of the manager you are using.

Alert for Bid Invitation

Hello Folks,
We have a requirement were alerts needs to be sent to Bidder i.e. 24 hours before the deadline (time/limit) as maintained under Bid Invitation.
For this the following configuration is doneu2026
Maintain the event and event schema for Bid Invitation (BUS2200). Under Event schema you specify the triggering event: No Bid Submitted, Published_Again etc. and also the deadline value.
Then assign this event schema to transaction type Bid Invitation.
Then maintain the Alert category SRM_BID_INV for Bid invitation here you specify the recipient either fixed one or role specific.
Currently the triggering event set is No Bid Submitted for alert category SRM_BID_INV and the deadline value is minus 24.
Issue 1:
When a Bid Invitation already published, reaches its deadline limit i.e. 24 hours before the deadline limit. System should trigger alert and notify bidder that only 24 hours remaining to react hence please submit the bid.
Currently this alert is not getting triggered for the deadline. Does it have something to do with Negative Deadline value?
Issue 2:
A new triggering event u201CPublish againu201D was set with deadline value Zerou201D0u201D.
Now when a bid Invitation was published again system sends alerts to the Bidder notifying of the changes which is correct.
But then system is sending the same alert thrice. How can we control this so that only one alert is sent per Object ID.?
Issue 3:
As specified earlier we had set up the recipient for Alert Category either on a fixed basis or role specific.
As a result of this every alert for Bid Invitation is routing to the same list of recipients.
Wanted to know, is there any other way apart from implementing Badi or setting rules to determine the recipient at runtime for a particular Bid invitation.Only these recipients should be notified via alert.
Awaiting for your response.
Thanks & Regards,
Yatin

Grouping functionality for Bid Invitations.

Is there any way to group external requirements to Bid invitations.

Hi,
When you press the Submit to Grouping button in the Carry Out Sourcing option ,report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED must be executed.
Read the Documentation given in the report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED .
Short text
Automatic Grouping of Requirements for POs and Bid Invitations
Purpose
This report groups together requirement items to which a valid source of supply has been assigned (for grouping into purchase orders) and whose product category has been enabled for grouping (sourcing option in Customizing).
In cases where assignment is automatic, the system sets the requirement as Transferred to Grouping.
In cases where a source of supply is assigned manually, the purchaser has to choose the function Transfer to Grouping in the sourcing application for the requirements.
You should schedule this report periodically, and make sure that the report is run separately for each document type (purchase order, bid invitation).
Prerequisites
You have assigned each relevant product category to a sourcing option for grouping, for example, Automatic Grouping, Sourcing for Item Without Assigned Source of Supply.
For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Supplier Relationship Management: SRM Server -> Sourcing -> Define Sourcing for Product Categories.
Features
Report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED provides the following functions:
For automatically grouping requirements into purchase orders:
It selects all requirements that have a unique valid source of supply, and have been set up for grouping. You can use selection criteria to further restrict the requirements that are selected.
It groups requirements by vendor. In other words, it groups together all of the requirements that can be sent to the same vendor.
You can use a Business Add-In (BAdI) to make additional groupings. If the standard system groups together certain requirements, but you want to create them in separate local purchase orders, use the BAdI BBP_GROUP_LOC_PO for this purpose.
Note that there are some limitations to creating purchase orders this way. For example, it is not possible to group together requirements with different vendors in the same purchase order. This report uses the same differentiation criteria as the sourcing application (for example, business partner, company code, product type).
It uses function module BBP_PD_PO_CHECK to check the assignment to a source of supply. The report passes on requirements to function module BBP_PD_SC_TRANS_MULTI_LOC_PO, where they are grouped, and converted into a purchase order.
In a production run (that is, not a test run), the system issues error messages to the Application Monitor. Example: A contract item assigned during sourcing is no longer valid when grouping is about to occur. This error appears in the Application Monitor. The system moves the requirement item to the worklist of the sourcing application.
The Application Monitor assigns errors to one of the following categories:
Shopping Cart: Automatic Grouping
Purchase Order: Automatic Grouping
If necessary, you can copy this report, and change the selection criteria to suit your needs. You can start the report in test mode.
Note: In the sourcing application, you can determine which requirements are planned for the next report run by choosing Find -> For Grouping.
For automatically grouping requirements into bid invitations:
It selects all requirements that have been set up for grouping. A source of supply is not required. You can use selection criteria to further restrict the requirements that are selected.
You can use the BAdI BBP_TRANSFER_GROUP to take bid invitations that have been grouped by the system, and then split them up on the basis of your own customer-specific criteria. You can use the BAdI BBP_SAVE_BID_ON_HOLD to determine whether or not a bid invitation should be published automatically.
The report passes on requirements to function module BBP_PD_SC_TRANSFER_MULTI_RFQ, where they are grouped, and converted into a bid invitation.
In a production run (that is, not a test run), the system issues error messages to the Application Monitor.
If necessary, you can copy this report, and change the selection criteria to suit your needs. You can start the report in test mode.
Note: In the sourcing application, you can determine which requirements are planned for the next report run by choosing Find -> For Grouping.
Output
The report displays the purchase orders or bid invitations resulting from the grouping of the requirements. It also shows incorrect requirements that the system was unable to group into a purchase order or bid invitation.

Bid invitation upload option

Hi all,
We are working on SRM EBP bid invitation with SRM 5.0.
While creating the bid invitation we have an upload option through which we can upload from an excel sheet the products for which the bid invitation is to be sent at the item level.
Can anyone explain what is the exact functionality of this upload option?
Can anyone have the template of uploading in a excel sheet? We tried to download from the available bid invitation but we got all the info. including the GUIDs in the excel sheet.
Best regards,

Transfering several PR's from R3 to one SRM bid invitation

Good morning,
We are using Plan driven procurement and bidding with Extended classic
scenario (SRM 5.0).
Indicator IMG sourcing is
"Sourcing via automatic bid invitation for items without a source of
supply"
Is it possible to transfer several PR's from R3 to one SRM bid
invitation?
Thanks in advance.
Alexey

Thanks, i think it is possible whis IMG sourcing indicator:
"Automatic grouping and creation of a bid invitation in the case of items without assigned source of supply"
If a source of supply is not assigned, the report Automatic Grouping of Requirements for POs and Bid Invitations automatically attempts to create a bid invitation from several requirement items. If is unable to do so, this is recorded in the error log of the report.

No approval workflow found error while processing the Bid Invitation

We are working on SRM 5.0 (SP level6). We are able to create the bid invitations successfully from the sourcing cockpit. However while saving the changes in the bid invitations, system shows the error "No approval workflow found". When checked in SWB_PROCUREMENT , no workflow exists for object" BUS2200, Bid Invitation EC"in the standard SRM.
Kindly confirm what is missing...
NNK

Hi Nitin,
Use T-code OOCU - Task custamising overview. Then SRM-EBP --> SRM-EBP-WFL then active event linking.
Please activate WS145000026 for automatic approval of bid. or WS145000027 for one step approval of bid invitation.
This will help to solve your problem. IF not please reply me the error.

BID invitation publishing authorisation

Hi,
When we select " Process Bid invitation" in EBP, we have find button through which we can filter the Bid invitations and open the same. But it lists even the Bid invitations which i am not authorised.
For ex.
Bid invitations created by "P1" purchasing group are Bid1, Bid2 & Bid3.
Bid invitations cerated by "P2" purchasing group are Bid 11, Bid12 & Bid13.
P1 purchaser can open the Bid invitations (Bid11,Bid12 & Bid13)created by P2 and can publish. Is there any control in org.structure or it is only through authorisation objects.
There is a selection criteria "My Bid invitations". But it can be used to open only my bid invitations not restricting others to open my bids.
Regards,
Prasanna

go to PFCG
Create a new role for Example ZBR01_EC_BBP_OP_RM1
BR01 is a plant
RM1 is a pruchase group
and go to authorisation and display authorisation data . then go to organisational levels and maintain purchase group , purchase organisation.

Multiple values of attributes for Transaction type Bid in the Org Plan

Hello All,
I need to have Multiple transaction types for the Object Bid Invitation in the Org Plan.
As the system is allowing only a single value,I tried maintaining the Table T77OMATTR by setting the attribute 'Tend_type' to take multiple values, but the whole attribute is set to not modifiable!
I am not sure whether I am doing the right thing
Can anybody advise on this please?
Regards,
Nagarajan

Hi
different transactions types, which can be selected in the transaction, are defined in SPRO via
IMG/Supplier Relationship Management/SRM Server/Cross-Application Settings/Define Transaction Types. There you can create new ones as well activate/deactivate transaction types.
The follow on document, PO or Contract, is defined per transaction type there as well.
When you want to influence the transaction type used from Sourcing Cockpit when clicking on "Bid Invitation", this can be accomplished via BADI only in SRM 5.0. Check the BADI section - don't know it by heart.
Cheers,
Claudia

Bug in bid invitation weighting change/update

Have you realized there seems to be bug in weighting the bid invitation?
If you copy an old bid invitation to make a new one the weightings come
along. There's nothing wrong in that, but when you change the header weighting
and add one line item and change the weighting to add up to 100%
it doesn't update to the system. New weighting % is shown on the screen, but it
is not used in the calculation.
Weighting between lines and header seem to add up to 100% when you calculate
the numbers shown in the screen, but when you click "check" button you get a error as if the header weighting is not updated.
There also seems to be some confusion how the line weightings are updated when you add new item.
I know my this seems like a very confusing thread, but there is really no logic how the system "behaves" in this matter.
Have anyone else realized this, or even better have you found a note to fix this?
We are running SRM 5.0

Hi
Please go through the following SAP OSS Notes ->
Note 784550 Incorrect error message weighting
Note 1066294 - BBP_BID_INV:Weight records not updated after putting on hold
Note 1050973 - BBP_BID_INV: Side effect of note 936313
Note 936313 - Weighting error in currency change
Note 958504 Problems with change version of weighting
Note 904152 Error/termination for units of measurement of attributes
Note 836452 Currency change not updated in weighting function
Note 780108 Scrolling in comparison of bids does not function correctly
Note 723831 Unnecessary message for creating a bid invitation
Hope this will definitely help. Do let me know.

BID invitation URL and Portal

Hello,
Implementing ECS SRM 5.0
When you publish bid invitations, the URL in vendor e-mail points to the ITS. However, we use the portal and due to that, my request is if it is possible to change the URL to the portal URL.
This should not be done in the EXT_ITS attibute in the vendor hierarchy as this is for the ITS, nor in the service.
What is the recommended way to do this?
rgds
GAR

hi,
Try using the BADI "'BBP_SUS_MAIL_DESCR'" to change the email contents to contain the EP url.
related notes:
Note 837179 - SUS3.0: Possible changes for e-mail-notification
Note 738370 - E-mail notification: Composite SAP note
The ITS details are however picked up based on the value of the paramater "EXT_ITS ".
